Lining Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

The lining market size is forecast to reach US$5.6 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 3.9% during 2022-2027. The lining is specialized coating solutions for marine, automotive, rail, oil & gas, and others using various products like polymer lining, ceramic lining, and others. The lining is widely applied for process vessels, piping in upstream and midstream oil and gas, ground storage tanks, buried tanks, vessels, auto components, equipment, and others and helps to protect against flame, chemical, abrasion, and impact attacks. According to the International Energy Sustainable development scenario, the global energy demand met by the oil & gas sector will be around 46% by 2040. Therefore, the growing oil & gas sector will boost the Lining market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a major challenge for the Lining market owing to directly affecting the manufacturer's supply chain across the globe and shutting down the production facilities to minimize the risk of virus spread. The major sectors such as automotive, building & construction, marine, chemicals, and others have been highly impacted. The coronavirus pandemic leads to low activity at key shipyards and financial stress on ship owners, resulting in declining sales of marine coatings. However, with steady growth in the sea stock market and increased activity in the maintenance of dry dock, the lining was able to regain momentum in the second half of 2020, supported by favorable raw material prices. According to National Marine Manufacturers Association, total retail unit sales of new powerboats decreased by 21% in February 2021 as compared to January 2021. However, sales remain elevated and are rising by 34% year on year as compared to February 2020. Thus, the lining market is also estimated to gradually increase during the forecast period.
